I had to take Jolene to the doctor today for a weight check. The doctor is concerned because she was in the 50th percentile and has dropped to the 10th. Today she only tipped the scales at 13 lbs. and 11oz. Apparently she has dropped below the 10th percentile now.
It is annoying that they look at how your baby is doing according to a graph. These charts cannot take into consideration genetic factors at all. Your child is just a point on a graph, that is all.
The nurse told me after the doctor left not to worry. She said it is silly how they don't take into account the genetics of your baby. You would think in the age that we live in genetics would be discussed a little more in the doctors visit. But alas, it is not and because of that I have to go visit another doctor just to get a "second opinion".
Brandon and I are not giants....I don't expect to have a giant for a child.

Y'know, I'd more worried if you guys had a giant baby...
It's encouraging at least that you had support from the nurse...she sounds pretty smart :-).
yeah, imagine having a baby like Charlie :-)
